The 20-year-old Londonderry-born defender made five first-team appearences for County last season. He becomes the second Notts County player to link up with the Lambs this summer following the arrival of striker Matty Williams, who was previously on loan.

Cooper has also retained the services of Republic of Ireland Under-21 player Graham Ward, despite suggestions he had joined Moor Green.

The former Wolves, Kidderminster Harriers and Cheltenham Town player had attracted interest from several sides but has since confirmed his commitment to Tamworth next term.

Ward is one of several players from last season staying at the Lamb along with Dave Bampton, Adie Smith, Kyle Storer, Matt Redmile and Michael Tuohy.

Tamworth spokesman Russell Moore said: "It's been a bit quiet at the moment, but we have a number of trialists joining us for pre-season training."
